    Are you proposing a direct link, or some sort of cultural parallelism?

Robert Brenchley,

>>Are you proposing a direct link, or some sort of cultural parallelism?<<

No, no. Just the cultural parallelism. There is precedent for the kind of
organizational structure indicated in the pastorals. The other objections,
e.g. that it differs from that mentioned in the undisputed letters, must
still be addressed.

Respectfully,
